Lunapark reviews Fedora Core 5, and concludes: "I would only recommend FC5 to people who do not own Nvidia video cards or do not mind tweaking a lot default settings to get things working. Otherwise stay with what you are using and wait for SUSE 10.1 or Ubuntu's Dapper. But if you do stick with FC 5 and get past the quirks, it is quite impressive and I am already eagerly awaiting FC 6."

Network installs have been possable with Fedora/Redhat for a long time now, it is nothing new.

The biggest change with FC5 is that anaconda now uses Yum. If it is not already possible, it makes the use of third part repositories significantly simpler. I would assume that it would also mean that we can get rid of doing a network install, and then spending several hours doing an update, as it will just get the latest packages.
